I'm in the mood to go old school - really old school. So old that it seems new. I begin with the Electic Prunes singing the trippy "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night" on the Mike Douglas show: Since, we are doing trippy, why not Strawberry Alarm Clock and "Incense and Peppermints."

Photo: Neil Krug. Domenic Priore: We were trying to figure out what separates the British Invasion groups from the ’60s Garage Punk bands in America that followed, and when you said “they warped it with Chili Dogs” that pretty much says it all. Shelly Kidd: Well, because that was part of the pop food of the time. [...]

In 1999, [...]

... aside from Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper and it's infamous parody on SNL, which other songs can you think of that feature the cowbell? All I can think of are Incense & Peppermint by Strawberry Alarm Clock and Barry White's Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe.

Stephen Malkmus and Jicks’ “Real Emotional Trash” opens with “Dragonfly Pie,” a plodding, drudging opener that calls to mind the early work of Black Sabbath, then left turns into psychedelia, flip flops its rhythms, razes it's own key changes, and comes full circle. A casual listen this isn't. “Real Emotional Trash” owes as much to [...]
